yep, I came up with promptfans (as a reference for describing all the weirdos who do free PR and hype work for this shit), and then @skillsissuer came up with promptfondlers for describing those that do this kind of bullshit

(and promptfuckers has become to collective noun I think of for all of them)

I like promptfarmers for the LLM companies and developers. It reflects there attitude of passively hoping that letting their model grow in scale will bring in some future harvest of money.

hmm, I like that!

and then I guess "promptfarmowner" would be saltman etc?

Grain futures salesmen on farms full of plant life (99.5% of which is weeds). ...I don't have a snappy label yet.
